The purpose of this investigation was to determine the presence and prevalence of blastocystosis, a zoonosis caused by Blastocystis sp in free-range hens in homes of different localities in southern Chile, simultaneously verify human infection in at least one locality, and identify other infections by intestinal parasites in birds. Fresh fecal samples from hens and humans were collected and preserved in PAF fixative and processed by the PAFS method combined with a flotation phase with zinc sulfate solution. Blastocystis sp was detected in half of the homes and the average prevalence was 14.2% in the total of localities being greater in the rural area and in the locality of Teupa (p<0.05). The prevalence in humans was higher than in hens in the town of Ñancul (p<0.05), where the parasite was present in both hosts in 4 of 7 households. The prevalence of infection by Entamoeba gallin...

The purpose of the study was to identify the endohelminths of the native fish Galaxias maculatus and Basilichthys australis in Lake Pullinque Chile, determine their prevalence, mean intensity, mean abundance, their zoonotic potential, describe new taxa for Chile, and evaluate the potential histopathological changes in parasitized samples of intestine of B. australis. Trematodes (Steganoderma szidati, Acanthostomoides apophalliformis, Tylodelphys sp, Posthodiplostomum sp) nematodes (Contracaecum sp, Camallanus corderoi and Eustrongylides sp) and the acanthocephalan Acanthocephalus tumescens was reported in G. maculatus. Tylodelphys sp presented the highest prevalence (97%) and mean abundance (21.1), while Posthodiplostomum sp showed the highest mean intensity (33.5). Trematodes (Limnoderetrema tolosai, Austrodiplostomum mordax and Tylodelphys destructor) and nematodes (Contracaecum sp, Hy...

La investigación realizada persiguió el principal objetivo el comprobar la relación entre los servicios digitales brindados a los ciudadanos y su satisfacción en un Ministerio del Sector Público en Perú, 2022. El estudio empleó un método tipo cuantitativo, no experimental, empleando un diseño correlacional con una estrategia de muestreo transversal. La muestra empleada fue de 126 ciudadanos que fueron encuestados y que alguna oportunidad utilizó los servicios digitales en un Ministerio de Sector Público, los datos se recogieron mediante la utilización de una plataforma digital, concretamente Google Form, el cual consto de en un cuestionario elaborado con 20ipreguntas cerradas. La mitad de las preguntas se refirieron a los servicios digitales, mientras que la otra mitad se centró en medir la satisfacción. Posteriormente, los datos fueron analizados haciendo uso del software ...

The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of eukaryotic parasite eggs, larvae and cysts, as well as the number of helminth eggs or larvae per gram of dog faeces collected in the streets of the coastal towns of Niebla and Corral, in the south of Chile. The stool samples were processed by a combination of the qualitative methods of Modified Telemann and flotation with zinc sulphate solution, in addition to the quantitative method of Knight et al. (1972). The results showed that 85.1 and 92.3% of the samples were positive in Niebla and Corral, with no significant differences between localities. In both cities were identified eggs and larvae of Uncinaria stenocephala, Toxocara canis, Trichuris sp, Spirocerca sp, Capillariidae gen sp, and Taeniidae gen. sp, as well as oocysts of Cystoisospora canis and sporocysts of Sarcocystis sp, with the highest prevalence for U. stenocephal...
